Most mourners in Tanzania’s capital city Dodoma paid their last respects to President John Magufuli lined up in the streets rather than at Jamhuri Stadium, due to the large number of people in attendance.
Dr Bilinith Mahenge, Dodoma’s Regional Commissioner, said in a statement on Monday, urged citizens to line up on the streets to prevent chaos as witnessed in Dar es Salaam on Sunday.
